Can anyone recommend a fairly simple, privacy-respecting to-do list for Android, preferably available through F-droid, and preferably not needing a subscription?

I had chickenpox at the end of January, and it's done the kind of nerve damage that shingles does. I've been prescribed pregabalin for nerve pain, but it's given me a memory like a broken sieve. I keep forgetting to do things and, more alarmingly, I clearly remember doing things I haven't actually done. I just need help emptying the bins and hanging up the wet washing until I no longer need this medication.

@CppGuy Nextcloud Deck mobile app has proven to be especially efficient, and allow for synchronization between multiple persons. You need a nextcloud account somewhere with Nextcloud Deck app activated though.

@CppGuy i use 1list. Very simple, very effective. It cannot be synced easily tho

@CppGuy
There's a technology involving graphite & pressed sheets of tree pulp that might be worth looking into. It's a bit cumbersome, but way good on the privacy end of things.

PS. Sorry to hear of your bout with chickenpox. Ouch!

@CppGuy I'm using simpletask, very simple, does the job.
There's a version that can synchronise the list (a text file) to your Nextcloud instance.
It's on F-Droid

@CppGuy "Omni Notes FOSS" provides List-oriented notes. You can easily tick/untick each item of your List.
Available on F-droid.

[zerkman@pouet.chapril.org]

@CppGuy just checked, it's on the F-Droid Archive repository. You may need to enable it in the repositories of your F-Droid app.
Latest version is from september 2022

@Gorfram

Thanks. I think I remember using that graphite technology in school, back in the day.

@CppGuy For daily recurring tasks, i use https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.isoron.uhabits/

I use Dynalist, free subscription for basic (and largely enough) functionality. It is not Foss, but managed by a small Texan company. Uses their servers to synchronize between mobile and desktop. It has a really great outline feature to open subtasks etc.. The UI is really handy.
I used to use Workflowy, but it was expensive for the same service.

@CppGuy I'm mis-using Nextcloud Deck for to-do lists, especially to share some of them between family members. Obviously needs a Nextcloud server somewhere, that might be to much effort for you if you don't have one already.

@spamourai

Ooh, I can see that being useful for things like taking medicine. Pregabalin has scrambled my brain to the point where I'm not always sure whether I've taken my pills. Thanks.

@Chaos_99

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't currently have a Next cloud instance, largely because we haven't the bandwidth to make it usable when we're away from home.

[cppguy@infosec.space]

@schmittmachine

That's a nice service. Thanks for making me aware of it. I'm not sure it's exactly what I need here, but I'll still keep it in my back pocket for another day.

[cppguy@infosec.space]

@vetetix

Ooh, that looks really useful. Thanks!

[cppguy@infosec.space]

@zerkman

Thanks! I've installed it and given it a spin to see how it works. I think I'll have to learn the todo.txt shortcuts to get the most out of it.

[cppguy@infosec.space]

@thhareau

Thanks for the recommendation. I've installed 1List and given it a spin. I'm not sure it quite does everything I need here, but I'm going to keep it installed as a general list-taker.
